MSI Arc A310 Low Profile 2X Graphics Card Unboxed in YouTube Short

An MSI Arc A310 4 GB Low Profile 2X graphics card is now available to purchase at a couple of Russian PC hardware retailers (for roughly $140), and a local YouTuber has already produced a quick unboxing video. Intel's board partners have been sluggish in adopting lower-end Alchemist GPU variants, with only a handful of companies bothering to produce cards based on the Arc A310 (DG2-128).

Sparkle displayed an unnamed super compact model at Computex 2023, and presentation slides have recently revealed that their "Industrial Low-Profile" series will be introduced under the GENIE moniker, comprised of single slot/fan A310 and A380 variants. Sparkle has not outlined a possible Western release for these budget cards, and other manufacturers have been reluctant to move beyond the Chinese OEM market. The Gigabyte A3 series is reportedly a Russian market exclusive for the moment, so it will be interesting to see if MSI is only targeting that territory with its competing dual fan design Arc A310 4 GB Low Profile model.

Only two outputs, really? Why bother? If Intel was smart, which they've consistently demonstrated they aren't, this would have quad outputs and would fly off shelves as a result.

Sadly single-slot GPUs are as dead as innovation from GPU manufacturers.

If it has a half-height bracket in the box, there's not much else you can cram in a single slot.
It could, however, have a half-height double slot bracket (the cooler already is a two-slotter anyway), thus packing more outputs.

But... it doesn't.

If you're answering to my second statement, welp, there's nothing one can do.
If to the first, is there any mention to it?

Not intel, MSI. The card is capable, just like the A380 but MSI decided to be stupid and waste 2 outputs. Hell, they could have even use the mini display port this type of cards usually use but no :shadedshu:

I stand corrected, thank you!
